Chauchin,

In the Boston area go to Newburyport (north of Boston on I-95 and just
south of the border with New Hampshire) and visit the Parker River
National Wildlife Refuge.  Very good shore birds to be had there. There is
a brief review of the refuge at
http://www.theinsider.com/Boston/attractions/2plumisland.htm and a better
overview can be had at the Fish and Wildlife Service web site at
http://www.fws.gov/r5fws/ma.htm if you can get it to work (I had trouble
with it today.)
For other places in and around Boston, see
http://world.std.com/~sz/tshbdhot.htm

In the Atlantic City area go north to Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge
(also know as Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge).  See the Fish & Wildlife
Service web site at  http://www.fws.gov/r5fws/nj.htm  (hope its back up).

Take a look at the GORP Regional Birding Guide at
http://www.gorp.com/gorp/activity/birding/bird_gd.htm.
At the very least Jamaica Bay in New York and Cape May in New Jersey are
two of the ten best birding sites in the United States.  Of course you
will have a hard time distinguishing one shore bird from another but
that's what makes them so much fun.

Parker River National Wildlife Refuge near Newberyport, MA is a great
place. Also, Joppa Flats right in Newburyport. About one hour and 15
minutes north of Boston.

I apologize if this shows up twice, but I think the 1st one got bounced.

In addition to Parker River you should also bird Cape Ann
(Rockport/Gloucester).  Not only is this one of the most scenic areas in
all of Massachusetts, it is one of the top spots for viewing seabird
migration.  On a given day you can find sea ducks (incl Harlequin),
eider (sometimes King), scoter, loons, grebes & alcids.  If the weather
is right you may even see some pelagics from shore.  Here is a website
containing Massachusetts birding locations: http://www.massbird.org/

Good Birding,
Al

Try Cape May, NJ.  Just a stone throw from Atlantic City.

By all means Cape May, NJ.  Forty miles by Garden State Parkway from
Atlantic City.  Go to the hawk watch platform at the Cape May lighthouse and
you will have all your questions answered by hundreds of birders from all
over the world.
